Review summary

This is our second cruise on Royal Caribbean and the standard of service excellence was also provided on Legend of the Seas.  We were so impressed with the crew and the service received that we put down deposit for a future cruise with Royal Caribbean.

 

The 10-night Easter Caribbean Cruise was the perfect cruise for us.  We enjoyed the relaxing days at sea to and from the port of calls and the varieous activities on board the Legend of the Seas.  This ship is smaller than the previous one we were on but it offered interesting and fun activies like belly flop contest by the pool and engaging lectures on whales.  I especially like how the ship designated a smoking section on deck 9, one side of the pool, that shields smokers from the element while the non-smokers are also offered the same protection on the other side of the pool.

 

Although I enjoyed the dance lessons offered I wish they were more Caribbean centric dances. i.e. salsa, vs the ball room dance taught at each session.  Be forewarned of the frozen mudslide, it looks very pretty and tasts delicious and will sneak up on you if you don't pace yourself. :-)

 

Overall, a great trip!!

Quite a few dishes were overcooked. The salad bar and fresh fruit selections are excellent.

Ship tip

Make an effort to have some snacks at the Windjammer but make sure you get there right at 3 as the good stuff disappears fast.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

Departure was a nightmare having to wait an hour for transportation. The airport cannot handle the load of cruisers from multiple cruise ships. Everything was a mess at the airport and the bathrooms were filthy.

Tortola, British Virgin Islands
